• Read before renting

  2/5

  BAD THINGS: First night our boat was parked under the overhang, our 6 gallon fuel tank full of fuel was stolen. We had reserved a slip in the Marina for the remainder of the time.When we tried to use the propane tank to boil our crab, it was empty. We had to take it in and pay $30 to fill it. Our last night there with the boat back from the Marina, parked in the driveway, our boat lights were unscrewed and someone tried to remove them!The dials on the stove are all worn off and it was hard to determine what was on high or low. The blinds in the bedrooms (dirty) need to be replaced. The blinds in the upstairs and downstairs rooms were bent or ripped. Air vents need to be cleaned.There were spots on the solid color light brown rug throughout the house. We were only left 4 rolls of toilet paper and 2 on the roller that were 1/4 left. We had to go and buy more. TV only in the downstairs area. None in the family room off the upstairs kitchen.Good Note:The backyard is beautiful and serene and peaceful. The new elevator was very nice compared to the older narrow spiral stairway.There were spices and miscellaneous things in the kitchen. Alot of pans and dishes.The couches were comfortable. They need a few more in the downstairs area.

  Hi Martin, we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the backyard and found the location convenient. We’ve shared your feedback with the homeowner, and they wanted to share the following:
  - We are aware that the outdoor chairs are showing some wear and plan to replace them as soon as we find a suitable option. In the meantime, there are additional lounge chairs available in the storage room downstairs for guests to enjoy.
  - The property is equipped with a classic charcoal grill. Although charcoal isn’t provided, many guests have found this option perfect for coastal cookouts.
  - There is a propane stove available for boiling crab or other outdoor cooking needs. We typically provide two propane tanks, but previous guests may not have refilled them. We’ll be double-checking this to make sure future guests have a more seamless experience.
  - We intentionally placed the TV in the downstairs family room to maintain a relaxing atmosphere in the main living and dining areas upstairs. This arrangement helps keep the upstairs space open for socializing and enjoying the ocean view.
  - The property is stocked with an initial supply of four rolls of toilet paper, along with what’s on the rollers, which is meant to last for the start of the stay. We encourage guests to bring additional supplies if needed, especially for longer visits.
  - We have noted your concerns regarding the stove dials, blinds, air vents, and carpet spots. They’ve asked the housekeeper to inspect and address these areas to ensure the home remains comfortable and well-kept for future guests.
  - It is also important to note that the property has a motion-activated security camera covering the carport area. We haven’t found any activity suggesting unauthorized access. After hearing your feedback we were concerned and viewed the video footage, which does show that you had a red gas tank in the boat the evening you arrived and were still there the following morning, but we recommend contacting the local sheriff's office if you'd like to file a report to ensure your concerns are addressed thoroughly.
  Thanks again for your feedback as we work to make each stay as enjoyable as possible. We hope to host you again and provide an even better experience on your next visit.

• Disappointed

  Minimal obscured ocean view. Elevator only interior access to downstairs so you are isolated from downstairs. No tv upstairs. .

  Hi Maria, we’re sorry to hear that the home didn’t quite meet your expectations. We’ve shared your feedback with the homeowner, and they wanted to provide some context on a few points:
  - The property’s ocean view is accurately represented in the listing photos. While the home is across the street from the ocean, neighboring homes and trees can partially obstruct the view. For guests seeking an unobstructed ocean view, the homeowner suggests considering other properties in the area that are situated directly on the bluff.
  - The elevator was installed to provide convenient interior access between floors, particularly for those who prefer not to use the outdoor staircases. While it’s designed for accessibility, the homeowner understands it may feel different from a traditional interior staircase.
  - The TV is intentionally located in the downstairs family room to maintain a peaceful atmosphere in the main living and dining areas upstairs.
  - We appreciate your feedback and your time in sharing what you enjoyed and what could be improved.
  We’re glad you chose to stay on the beautiful Oregon Coast, and we hope to better meet your needs in the future!

• Great location but Stove did not work correctley

  3/5

  The property was in a great location with a great back yard.

  The stay could have been better if the stove top control numbers could be seen and the burners did not get so hot. It was very hard to cook on. The bath tub diverter did not work and there was no way to plug the water so kids could take a bath. The host was very nice. Hope the stove and tub shower will get fixed so I can give it more stars next time.

  Hi Sandre, we appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you enjoyed the location and backyard! After sending your comments to the homeowner, they wanted to share the following:
  -The light switch under the microwave controls the light under the stove hood that lights up the top of the stove and the stove control panel. That light makes it much easier to see the knobs on the stove burner controls.
  -We will be visiting the property soon to address the issue with the bath tub plug and ensure it’s working properly.
  Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!
